(18) Corneal abrasion occurred in two babies and corneal oedema in one baby after forceps delivery but in none of the control group.
(19) However, person-to-person variation can have a great influence on the abrasion process; moreover, only two persons were involved in this pilot study, and no definitive statement can be made about the effect of the toothpastes.

Insensitive
Definition:
(a.) Not sensitive; wanting sensation, or wanting acute sensibility.
Example Sentences:

(2) However, CT will be insensitive in the detection of the more cephalic proximal lesions, especially those in the brain stem, basal cisterns, and skull base.
(3) Insensitive variants die more slowly than wild type cells, with 10-20% cell death observed within 24 h after addition of dexamethasone.
(4) The mechanism by which K+ accumulates in the follicle was insensitive to ouabain, so that a typical Na+, K(+)-ATPase mechanism does not appear to be involved.
(5) All three organotins inhibited cardiac Na+,K(+)-ATPase, [3H]ouabain binding, K(+)-activated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K(+)-PNPPase) and oligomycin-sensitive (OS) and oligomycin-insensitive (OI) Mg(2+)-ATPase in a concentration-dependent manner.
(6) The most important causal factor, well illustrated by pressure studies, was the presence of a dynamic or static deformity leading to local areas of peak pressure on insensitive skin.
(7) However, blood with low HBeAg levels and free of detectable polymerase activity can still be infectious, since the polymerase reaction is rather insensitive compared to the radioimmunological HBeAg determination.

(9) A sharp decrease in oxygen uptake occurred in Neurospora crassa cells that were transferred from 30 degrees C to 45 degrees C, and the respiration that resumed later at 45 degrees C was cyanide-insensitive.
(10) The response amplitude is maximally sensitive to photons presented over durations of 30-45 min; is very insensitive to shorter light exposures; and is maintained with no evidence of adaptation over longer exposures.
(11) In contrast to the channel closing rate, the opening rate is relatively insensitive to voltage.
(12) By using pH- or Ca(2+)-sensitive dyes and recording at the ion-sensitive and -insensitive (isosbestic) wavelengths, the method can measure both cell volume changes and intracellular ionic activities.
(13) In patients with Cushing's disease or Nelson's syndrome ACTH secretion is insensitive to naloxone, presumably because of an autonomous pituitary adenoma or hypothalamic derangement.
